Gender equality has powerful potential to improve the economy, security and the overall well-being of a population.

“If the world closed the gender gap in workforce【1】, global [Gross Domestic Product] would increase by 28 trillion dollars by 2025... That’s about a quarter of the world’s current GDP, and almost half of the world’s current debt,” said U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women’s Issues Catherine Russell in a recent speech. She also noted that “studies have found that countries with less gender inequality are more secure, and peace 【2】last longer when women are at the negotiating table.”

Nonetheless, no country in the world can 【3】that it has achieved full gender equality.

“Around the world, women are vastly 【4】in politics and the workforce, particularly in leadership positions and other high-paying jobs,” said Ambassador Russell. At the same time, women make up the majority of the poor. “I’ve heard people say that poverty has a 【5】face, and that makes sense when you consider that women control just one-fifth of global wealth,” said Ambassador Russell.

World leaders are beginning to recognize that everyone benefits from 【6】gender equality, she said. This is why gender equality is part of U.S. foreign policy. A key part of U.S. efforts focus on educating and empowering girls. In the past 18 months, the United States 【7】its global strategy to empower adolescent girls, as well as Let Girls Learn, which is a Presidential initiative that focuses on educating girls.

We are also working with numerous countries to remove【8】that keep women from inheriting or owning property, entering the formal job market or accessing banking services.

“Gender equality sometimes looks like an impossible task —a 【9】without an end,” said Ambassador Russell. “But...we can make progress, and that progress is worth making. Little by little, discussion by discussion, step by step, we can improve the lives of women and girls, men and boys all around the world. And in doing so, we can reach our 【10】goals of peace, prosperity, and security.”

The Unique Joy of Learning New Words

With all that’s happening in the news, life can feel like an exercise in determining the particular kind of bad we are experiencing the. Are we anxious or depressed? Lonely, or stressed?

Tim Lomas, a senior lecturer in positive psychology at the University of East London, is engaged in the opposite endeavor, 【1】 all the types of well-being that he can find. Specifically, Lomas is seeking to 【2】 psychological insight by collecting untranslatable words that describe pleasurable feelings we don’t have a 【3】 for in English. “It’s almost like each one is a window onto a new landscape,” Lomas says. So far, with the help of many contributors, he has amassed nearly 1000 in what he calls a “positive lexicography” --- including the Dutch pretoogies, which refers to the twinkling eyes of someone engaged in benign mischief; The Arabic tarab, a word for musically induced ecstasy; And the Creole tabanca, which describes the 【4】 feeling of being left by someone you love.

People are fascinated with untranslatable words in part because they are useful: How else could we talk to each other about the 【5】 pleasure of schadenfreude? But Lomas also see them as a means of showing us “new possibilities for ways of living,” describing them as invitations for people to experience happy phenomena that may previously have had been “hidden from them” or to revel in feelings they couldn’t previously 【6】. Consider the Japanese ohanami, a word for gathering with others to appreciate lowers.

Linguists have long argued about how much the language we speak --- partly 【7】 by factors like geography and climate --- limits the thoughts we are capable of having or the actions we can take. The words in which different societies live are distinct worlds, not merely the same world with different labels 【8】,” wrote the theorist Edward Sapir.

Perusing（研读）the words in Lomas’ collection, at the least, is a means of meditating on ways that we can feel good. When asked for one of his favorites, the psychologist lists the German Fernweh, which describes a 【9】 to travel to distant lands, a kind of homesickness for the unexplored. Also delightful is the Danish morgenfrisk, describing the satisfaction one gets from a good night’s sleep, and the Latin otium, 【10】 the joy of being in control of one’s own time.
